Thankyou for sympathy You could always donate me a few drinks in a bar

I have heard the Outback of Australia is more expensive, no I think I will have to start living like an old backpacker ,buses to airport from Pattaya , hostels as rooms ,maybe even someone here will lend me their room It's the working poor like me who can't afford these prices of inflation. Many of us in Australia as janitor are working for less than $5 an hour we are the working poor with no retirement benefits, I will end up an old sex worker with a beer bottle laying outside the Nirun Condo's at 7am in the morning wearing a Chang singlet !!!

Well as there is a lot of people with indian background who work with me ,I'm thinking India They seem to go there on our $5 hourly rate sometimes twice a year ,! Yes I have had to change I found 40 baht second hand t shirts at Soi bukhao market And....I went to a buffet and when they wernt looking I quickly put the food in a container in my bag ,take it home for later !

Oh don't be so judgemental.

No your right ...Definitely not ! $5 is $5 and I'm very poor ,that's my hourly rate ! Sundays I get $7 an hour though And no retirement benefits ! I was thinking a part time job in Boyztown to make up for it ,I have write to my HR department to ask for a reference I will have to stay in the flybird condo it looks like .

The farang doctor charges 1000 baht

Jomtien ,21.73 tonight

Blood tests are free in Australia Can go to Medicare doctors also free

Excellent point But...I'm thinking inflation had caught up to Thailand,times change ,prices change $$10 for a pair of sandals I can get in Kmart for $5; This year Australians WILL Not be going to Thailand I can assure you ,they will go to Bali or Vietnam ( the new Bali) You have lost Australians blame it on yourself

Yes I get you. You must apologise to them and wish them well in their future endeavours

Shocked tonight to cash my Australian dollars to get a lousy 21.73 , 2173 baht $100 Can someone please calculate maybe a mathematical expert how much is 100 baht in AUD please ! Now I have been advised by another visitor in my hotel to go to Vietnam that's where he is moving to Please how do you Australian expats survive on old age pension here when prices here in Thailand are comparable to Australian prices after the exchange I paid nearly $6 for a 6 inch subway ,same price in Australia Gone are the days of buying cheap shoes and clothing here in Thailand Nearly $5 for a pair of thongs and I don't mean underwear! Please ! The thongs that go on your feet Is Vietnam cheaper,I still have 3 weeks to go on my work leave , I feel like I should go back to Australia where it's cheaper .what an expensive place How do you afford to retire you guys who only have a small Government pension ??

I do know that ! And thankyou for your service !

Seems to be getting worse Oh please $100 is now 21.73 So it's $50 nearly for 1000 baht $25 for 500 How much is 100 baht ?

Oh don't be prejudice, people may like other areas of this Global universe not necessarily Asia per se

Exactly! This is why you must appreciate the Sharia law in some parts of London ,local rules and regulations

Why would you leave? Stay there

Embrace and welcome change . I smile and am happy at the changing world not bitter I think it's wonderful to have different cultures,religions ,and genders and I welcome them all.

Atrocious! Racism You said you were in your 70's so not long to go now ...surely You must learn about different cultures including the islamic religion and embrace it to learn against your bigotry Unfortunately at your age it's too late

Yes definitely,I hate the Country that's why I take as much as I can from the taxpayer Albanese does too Please try to fit into the norms of the modern society by embracing culture and sexual diversity I bet you did not wear a purple beanie recently to honour transgender day

Well I have a longer life than you , have you thought about the time you have left if your going to be walking around with your old man scowl,nasty & bitter at life ,angry at people who have a disability . How long do you have left do you think?

I go to Pattaya and never partake ,I wish I had your problem. I like going to the doctors in Pattaya I didn't realise there was a NEW GP clinic in Jomtien

What a nasty old man you are , scowl on your face as your walking bumping into people ,nose hairs growing out , get a grip !!!

Fantastic...thankyou I now have a new PC word I'm also calling homeless people dwelling challenged but it seems in Australia now they are called "rough sleepers" ?

Another great post from Will thankyou for your service

Hopefully you don't have the same Irish surname as mine I'm offended by my Irish surname because we invaded Australia and we must apologise and change our names , eventually as you know we will all be called Mohammed but that's a different story and please don't try to get me off topic !!!
